Urban-planning regularisation in Fléron
A doubt about the planning compliance of a property in Fléron? Before a procedure is opened, it helps to reconstruct the existing situation and compare it with the documents available.
Situations
Situations worth examining
Extension, annex, façade changes, attic conversion, change of use or new dwellings: each situation is examined on its own characteristics.
Extension or annex
Volume whose permit is not clearly on file.
Façade changes
An envelope altered from the known plans.
Attic conversion
Space made habitable without being documented as such.
Change of use
A use that is no longer the one in the permits.
New dwellings
Units whose planning recognition is not established.
Each situation has to be examined on its own characteristics.
Diagnostic
Reconstruct the existing situation
Before a procedure is opened, Urbexa reconstructs the existing situation and compares it with the documents available.
That comparison shows what the permits cover and what they do not.
The engagement is then fitted to the property: a diagnostic, a review of the options, then administrative support if a procedure is considered.
The starting point is the planning diagnosis.
Local context
Building subdivision in Fléron
Dividing a building is not limited to creating rooms or separate meters. The question also covers the planning recognition of the dwellings, how they are organised, and the general characteristics of the building.
Separate rooms or meters describe a physical organisation. The planning recognition of the dwellings is a different question.
Urbexa reviews the project before a heavier procedure is opened. When subdivision is confirmed as the subject, the dedicated support takes over.

Buying and selling
During a sale or a purchase
A prior review can be useful when the planning situation is uncertain at the time of a sale or a purchase.
It identifies the points of attention and the procedures that can be considered.
Method
A method fitted to the property
Diagnostic, review of the options, a strategy, then administrative support: the engagement is fitted to the property.
01
Planning diagnostic
A first reading of the property, the documents on hand, and what the owner or investor actually wants to do.
02
Review of documents and permits
Finding the plans, permits and deeds that show what was authorised.
03
Identifying the gaps
Marking the differences between the existing situation and the authorised one.
04
Studying the options
Considering which procedures can be envisaged for the property and the project.
05
Preparing the file
When a procedure is worth pursuing, assembling the documents — with or without an architect, depending on the project.
06
Filing and follow-up
Submitting the file and handling exchanges with the administration.
Depending on the project, the application can be prepared with an architect or without one.

Questions
Common questions
No. Meters, kitchens or entrances describe a physical organisation. The planning recognition of the dwellings is a different question, checked against the permits and the layout of the building.
Reconstruct the existing situation and compare it with the documents available, before opening a procedure. That is what the diagnostic is for.
A prior review identifies any points of attention and the procedures that can be considered before the transaction.
Planning rules and practice can change, and they depend on the property and the project. An individual review remains necessary.
